Government of Canada launches call for nominations for the Expert Panel on Early Learning and Child Care

To support the development and implementation of the Multilateral Early Learning and Child Care Framework and the Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care Framework, the Government of Canada is creating an Expert Panel on Early Learning and Child Care. This Expert Panel will complement other engagement activities in support of the development of the data and research strategy.

A public call for nominations is now open to interested individuals who have experience with early learning and child care to apply for the Ministerial Expert Panel on Early Learning and Child Care (hereafter the Panel or Expert Panel).

The Panel will be composed of leaders, practitioners, and experts in early learning and child care from areas such as, academia, service delivery, leaders and social actors, as well as international experts and researchers on early learning and child care. It will also include people who have experience with early learning and child care and individuals representing diverse groups, including parents, Indigenous partners and racialized communities.
